TERRIBLE
VERY BAD BAD BAD
Not enough volume available for accompaniment
Great idea but not much use as it is.
I bought three pieces to practice for my Grade 1 cello exam.
Main reason I shelled out £5.97 was for the ability to change the pace of the pieces so I could gradually get up to full speed.
The problem is that, even when played through a Bose Bluetooth speaker I can’t get enough volume to hear the piano accompaniment above my cello. 🤬🤬
The only way I can hear it clearly is to play very softly, and as the pieces contain crescendos and decrescendos, it really isn’t much use.

Could be good need to fix looping
This could be a really useful app if the positional and looping controls were made easier to use. On my iPhone 12 the “handles” to move the loops and the position of play back are much too small and close together so that you skip from one to the other. Make the loop and playback handles bigger and further apart.
Make the above bigger than the cartoon cello and piano. Their usability is more important than the cartoons.
Also let the app appear in landscape mode so the playback line is longer allowing for finer-grained positioning.
Also the slow down wheel is hard to use. Just have wheel left to right that you double tap to reset rather than have to switch it on and off then turn a unintuitive set of dots.

Good but needs serious bug fix
It’s a great idea, and works well from a learning point of view, but when you buy a collection of pieces it takes the money (8.99) but doesn’t let you access the pieces. In the past it has sorted itself out if I just leave it for a few weeks but I recently purchased all the grade 4 pieces. (I say recently, but really about 4 months ago) and I still can’t access them. This is really frustrating because they have taken my money but I haven’t got the pieces. It gives me an option to buy the pieces separately but I can’t purchase the package again. I give it three stars because it works well except for the bugs. Would be great If this could be sorted.

I’m a bit confused
Are you just supposed to play by ear? Where is the written music to read and follow along with? I don’t want to purchase the tunes if they don’t come with sheet music of some sort. Otherwise, this looks and sounds great.
